Startup Weekend Detroit 4 – Final Results
After an entire weekend of hacking, building and planning, the 15 teams from Startup Weekend Detroit 4 presented their ideas to a crowd of roughly 100 people on Sunday night.
After careful deliberation, our judges selected the top three ideas/products presented during final pitches.
Here are the results:
First Place:
LiveSnip
An online dashboard for live Web clippings.
Second Place:
Ghost in a Box
A fun and creative spin on The Pet Rock. Users “buy” a ghost online and receive package containing their new “resident.” Once customers receive their ghost, they can go online and learn their story.
Third Place:
CaptionSIX
A Web application that allows you to share one picture and only six words.
Thanks to Momentum, our winning team will receive tickets to the Michigan Lean Startup Conference. Additionally, all three of our top teams will receive a full tour of the M@dison building, a one-hour business model consulting session with Bizdom, and a one-hour meeting with Ludlow Ventures.
Congratulations to our winning teams and THANK YOU to our sponsors, mentors and judges for supporting this amazing event!
